Hello, hello, dear listener, and welcome into speaking part three, wild animals in general, right?
So Rory here knows a lot of things about animals, an educated native speaker.
Hmm?
Allegedly.
Why should people protect wild animals?
All kinds of reasons, they...
Well, all species contribute to the planet's biodiversity,
which is useful for things like genetic variation and disease control and prevention.
There are also things called umbrella species, which means that in the cause of protecting them,
we protect the animals which share their habitats too,
so the knock-on effects of preserving them are really worth promoting.
Is it more important to protect wild animals or the environment?
I think they go hand in hand, kind of, don't they?
You can't really have animals without an environment, but at the same time,
what's the point in preserving a habitat devoid of all animal life?
If you've got to pick one, though,
I suppose it's better to safeguard the environment,
since that would benefit human beings more directly.
Should people educate children to protect wild animals?
Well, I think they already do, and it makes sense, however you look at it.
